Seriously, I could see them hire a former Jags coach.  Del Rio is looking for work.

That would reek of a desperation move. It would be like saying, "We're screwed, we have no better options, we know it, so let's hire a guy who's just happy to be here." Kind of like every team that's ever hired Mike Mularkey. I don't see Jim Irsay being ok with that sort of hire after getting hosed by McDaniels. I just don't. The guy's got the second biggest ego in the owner's room after Jerry Jones. He's going to want to make a splash, and I think that splash is coaching in college right now. No available NFL coordinator or position coach, aside from maybe Frank Reich, would create the sort of splash that lets him sit there with a straight face and tell the press that he's glad McDaniels chickened out, because it let him get someone even better.

Really any move they make now is a desperation move. They got totally hosed by the pats in the most public way possible and there’s no coming back from that. I’m thinking it’s Irsay’s ego that will keep good coaching candidates from seriously considering coming there. The franchise is a total mess from the top down, and frankly I’m thrilled about it.
